About Project Origin

This green bean sourcing project works directly with coffee farming families in impoverished countries and regions, improving their production conditions and offering purchase prices 20% higher than fair trade prices.

The project's original vision also includes strengthening the connection between roasters and coffee farmers, guiding farmers to cultivate high-quality coffee beans.

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Aricha G1

Country: Ethiopia

Grade: G1

Region: Yirgacheffe, Gediyo

Altitude: 1900-2100 meters

Processing Method: Natural

This batch of Yirgacheffe was produced at the Kebel Aricha processing station, where approximately 650-700 smallholder coffee farmers from nearby areas deliver ripe coffee cherries for processing in exchange for cash. After the processing station screens usable cherries, they are placed directly on raised beds for sun-drying. During the first few days of drying, the cherries are turned every 2-3 hours to prevent over-fermentation. After four to six weeks of natural processing, workers remove the outer fruit pulp mechanically based on weather and temperature conditions, then transport the beans to Addis Ababa for storage. Natural processed beans are typically stored as parchment beans until just before export to ensure green bean quality.

This natural processed Aricha has been rated as G1, the highest grade by the ECX. From green bean appearance, consistency, freshness to dry aroma and flavor, it demonstrates exceptional quality. If you enjoy bright acidity and rich berry flavors, you absolutely cannot miss this coffee!
